Biography
Michael is a member of the Turbine Cooling Group at the Oxford Thermofluids Institute, having previously completed his DPhil as part of the CDT in Gas Turbine Aerodynamics. Michael earned his Master’s in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford and a Master of Research degree from the University of Cambridge.
His current research is focused on the improving cooling systems in modern aeroengine turbines, specifically through the application of Double-Wall Effusion cooling. Michael specialises in the development of low order, rapid solver flow networks which predict airflow distributions through large and complex cooling systems.
